A DRF renderer to side-load relations

Project description

DRF-inclusions

A django-restframework renderer to side-load related resources.

Build status Coverage status Python versions Django versions PyPI

One drawback of RESTful APIs is that you have to make many calls to fetch all the related resources. DRF-inclusions provides a custom renderer allowing you to sideload those in a single, original request.

DRF-inclusions allows you to specify which serializers to use for included resources, and via the query string the client can specify which resources should be included.

Features:

  • arbitrary depth
  • option to include all related resources
  • de-duplication when the same object is found in multiple parent/related objects
  • an effort is made to retrieve related objects in as little DB queries as possible

Installation

pip install djangorestframework-inclusions

Usage

from rest_framework_inclusions.renderer import InclusionJSONRenderer


class MySerializer(...):
    inclusion_serializers = {"some_field": OtherSerializer}


class MyViewSet(...):
    ...
    renderer_classes = (InclusionJSONRenderer,)

See the tests and testapp for advanced usage examples.
